The new field is not subjective. The alert level is not part of the tag declarations. The new field, called Visibility, now determines the alert level directly. It has a value of 'error', 'warning', 'info', 'pedantic', or 'classification'. Here is a merge request that implements the proposal. Please let me know if you have any objections. https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/297 For details, please have a look at the commit messages. Kind regards Felix Lechner
